Into the Storm is a non-fiction book – part biography and part history. It is the story of General Fred Franks Jr. and the story of his command of the US VII Corps during ground operations of Desert Storm in Iraq. It is the story of the U.S. Army and how they brought themselves back from the troubling days of Vietnam to being a top-notch military force that could be proud of themselves.As in many of Clancy's fiction books, the sense that it takes many many people working together to make up a military operation comes through clearly here. General Franks is allowed to tell much of his own story, and he is not afraid to name names and cite the people he worked with in whatever area they were working. His respect for his soldiers and fellow officers also comes through clearly.One of the better operational books to be published on the first war in Iraq and highly recommended. This is a first edition first printing of this book.
